EDITORS COMMENTS
Madame Vestris, born Lucia Elizabeth Vestris in 1797, was a groundbreaking British actress of the 19th century, renowned for her innovative and daring performances in the early burlesque tradition. In this image, Madame Vestris is depicted in the role of "Little Pickle" from the comic play "The Spoil'd Child." Dating back to the 1820s, this early photograph showcases Madame Vestris in a breeches role, a common convention in the burlesque genre where women would perform in male attire for comedic effect. Madame Vestris' portrayal of "Little Pickle" was a sensation, as she expertly combined her exceptional acting skills with her ability to captivate audiences with her beauty and charm. The character of "Little Pickle" was a mischievous and spirited child, and Madame Vestris' performance brought the role to life with her infectious energy and wit. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the history of early burlesque and the remarkable career of Madame Vestris. Her influence on the stage extended far beyond her time, as she paved the way for future generations of actresses to challenge gender norms and push the boundaries of theatrical performance. Madame Vestris' legacy as a trailblazing performer continues to inspire and intrigue, and this image serves as a testament to her enduring impact on the world of theatre and entertainment.
